Description 1 online resource (xiv, 260 pages) Series African American literature in transition ; [15] African American literature in transition ; 15. Summary 'African American Literature in Transition, 1980-1990' tracks Black expressive culture in the 1980s as novelists, poets, dramatists, filmmakers, and performers grappled with the contradictory legacies of the civil rights era, and the start of culture wars and policy machinations that would come to characterize the 1990s. The volume is necessarily interdisciplinary and critically promiscuous in its methodologies and objects of study as it reconsiders conventional temporal, spatial, and moral understandings of how African American letters emerged immediately after the movement James Baldwin describes as the 'latest slave rebellion' Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 20, 2023) Subject American literature -- African American authors -- History and criticism African Americans in literature.
